you drive with your two legs and feed it on shoe pegs , and thus fat up your veli oipede , whereupon some egotist of the phila i delphia bulletin soberly announces that i be intends to eclipse every

record may bo briefly stated lu december isfll one christian metz having borrow ed of frederick hronson executor of ar thur bronson 1,400 executed his bond for the repayment to hronson of the prin cipal stun borrowed on the 1st day of january 18a7 in gold and silver coin lawful money ofthe united states inter est also iu coin until such repayment at at the yearly rate of 7 per cent to se cure these payments according to the bond at such place as hronson might appoint or in default of such appointment at the merchants hank iu new york melz ex ecuted a mortgage upon certain real pro perty which was all ei wards conveyed to hodes who assumed to pay the mortgage due and did in fact pay the interest un til and including the 1st day of january 1864 subsequently in january 1866 there having been no demand of payment nor any appointment of a place of pay mentby hronson rhodes tendered to him united states notes for lhe amount of fif teen hundred and seven dollars a sum nominally equal to the principal and in terest duo upon llie bond and mortgage at that time one dollar in coin was equiv alent iu market value to two dol lars and a quarter of united states notes this lender was refused where upon rhodes deposited the united slates notes iii the merchant's hank to ihe cred it of bronson and filed his bill in equity praying lhat the mortgaged premises might be relieved from ibe mm i the mnrtgnge and that bronson might bo e impelled tn execute and deliver lo him nu ack-uowlcdginont of the full soil isfncl ion and discharge of the mortgage debt the bill was dismissed by the supremo courl in krie county but on appeal to tbo su preme < nun in general term tho decree | of dismissal was reversed anil a decree ws entered adjudging lhat tho mortgage had bei n satislied by the tender nnd di tecling hrnnoon lo satisfy lhe same of rec ord and this decree wns affirmed by tho court of appeals thequostion we have to consider therefore ie this : was bron boii bound by law to accept from rhodes united states notes equal in nominal amount to lhe sum due him ns full per i'm induce and satisfaction of il contract which still stipulated for the payment of that sum in gold and silver coin lawful money of the united states it is not pretended that any real payment and sat isfaction of an obligation to juiy si 007 | coined money dollars can be made by the tender of paper money worth iu lhe mar ket only six hundred and seventy coined dollars the question is does the law compel the acceptance of such a feeder for such a debt it is the appropriate func tion of courts of justice to enforce con tracts according lo the intent and under j standing of the parties we must there fore inquire what was the intent and un derstanding of frederick bronson and christian xletz when tlu-y enteral into the contract under consideration in de cember 1851 and ibis inquiry will be as sisted by reference to the circumstances | under which the contract wns made â€” bionson was an executor charged as a trustee with lhe administration of an es tate metis was a borrower from lhe es tate it was the char duly of the former j lo take security for the full repayment of llie money loaned to the latter i'he cur rency of lhe country at that time consist ed mainly in the circulating notes of state banks convertible under the laws of the suites into coin on demand this con vertibility though far from perfect togeth er with the acts of congress which re iiuiied the use of coin for ull receipts and disbursements of the national government insured the presence of some coin in the general circulation but the business of llie people was transacted almost entirely through the medium of bank notes the slate banks had recently emerged from a t'ondision of great depreciation and dis credit the effects of which weie still wide ly fell and the recurrence of a like condi tion was not unreasonably apprehended by many this apprehension was in fuel realized by lhe goncrul suspension of coin payment which took place in 1857 shortly after lhe bond id melz became lue it is not to be doubted then thai il was to guard against the possibility of loss to lhe estate limn an altempl lo force llie acceptance of u llilclual ing anil per haps irredeemable currency iu paper thai , the express stipulation for payment iu gold , nnd silver coin was pm into lhe bund â€” i , there was no necessity in law fm such a ' ' stipulation al thai timo for then no money , except gold in silver bad been made a le gal tender i'he bond without any stip ulation to that effect would have been le gally payable only in coin the terms of ib contract must have been selected liu i fore lo definitely li the contrael be tween ihe parlies and to guard ngaiiibt any possible claim of tho mortgages lhat any ordinary cuiti.ney would bo sufficient i to discharge the obligation the intent of the inn ties is therefore clear ; wlialevei might be lho forms or the fluctuations of tlio note currency this contract was not to be affected by them it was to be paid at nil events in coined lawful money we bavo just adverted to th fact that thu le gal obligation of jiayinei n coin was per fect without express stipn ition it will be uieful to consider somewhat furtber tlie precise import in law of the phrase '. " l^ollarsf payable in goiri aim silver coiit lawful money of the united slates to form a correct judgment on this point ii will be necessary to look into lhe statutes regulating coinage it would be instruc tive doubtless to review the history of coinage in the united slates and lhe suc cession of statutes by which the weight purity form and impression of gold ami silver coins have been regulated but it will be sufficient for our purpose that we examine three only tho acts ot april 2 1792 of january 18 is:i7 and of march 8 1849 the act of 179*2 estab lished a merit for tl e purpose of tho na tional coinage it was the result of very careful and thorough investigation of the whole subject iu which lell'erson mnl hamilton look lhe greatest part and iis general principles have controlled nil sub sequent legislation li provided that ibe gold of coinage or standard g"bl should consist of eleven parts fine and olio purl alloy which alloy was to be silver and copper in convenient proportions but not exceeding one-half silver ami lhat the sil ver of coinage should consist of fourteen eighty five one hundredth parts fine and one hundred and seventy-nine parts ol alloy wholly of copper the same act established the dollar as lhe money mini and required that it should onn tain four hundred and sixteen grains of standard silver it provided further for tho coin age of half dollars quarter dollars dimes and half dimes also of stnudnrd silver and weighing respectively one-balf one quarter one-teiilh uud one-twonlietli ol tho weight of the dollar provision was al-o in ole for it gold coinage consisting of eagles half eitgles nnd quarter eagles nnd containing roapoclively two hundred nnd evenly oin hundred uud thirty-live iini sixty seven half grains of stnudnrd gold nnd being of the value respectively of fen dollars five ilolh.rs ind two half dollars these coiim wen-a made n bira tender in all payments according to their respective weights of gold and silvur if of full weight nt their declared value and il of less at a proportionate value and this regulation ns to tender remained iu full force until 1^"7 the rule prescrib ing the composition of alloy has never been changed but tho proportion of alloy to pure gold and silver ami the absolute weight of coins have undergone some al teratii'ii partly with a view in tho better adjustment of lhe gold and ilver circula tion to each other and partly for thn con venience nf commerce the only change of sufficient importance to require notice is that made by the act of 1837 thill net directed that standard gold and stan dard silver also should l henceforth con si.-l of nine parts pine and one purl alloy that the weight ol standard gold in tin eagle should he two hundred and fifty eight grains and in the half eagle and quarter eagle respectively one-half and one-fourth of that weight precisely and that the weight of standard silver should be in the dollar four hundred twelve and a half grains and the half dollar quarter dollar dime and half dime exactly one half one fourth one tenth and one twen tieth of that weight the act of 1849 authorized the coinage ol gold double ea gles and gold dollars conformably iu all respects to the established standards nud therefore uf the weights respectively of five hundred and sixteen grains and thir ty five eight tenth grains the methods and machinery of coinage luul been bo im proved before lho act of is was passed that unavoidable deviations from the pro scribed weight became almost inapprecia ble nud tho most stringent regulations were enforced to secure the utmost attain able exactness both in weight nnd puri of metal in single coins lhe greatest dt vidt ion tolerated in lhe gold coinage was half n grain iu the double eagle antl half eagle and a quarter of a grain in the quarter cnglo uud gold dollar ! nml in the silver coinage a grain and n half in the dollar a grain in the quarter dollar and a half grain in the dime and half dime lu 1849 the limit of deviation in weighing in weighing large numbers of coins on deliv ery by liu chief coiner lo the treasurer and by lho treasurer to the depositors was still further narrowed with this ami other

ot the united stales and therefore de clared to be a legal tender in payment and any number of such dollars is the number of grains of btandard gold silver in ono dollar multiplied by tho given num ber i'.ivinent of money is the delivery by one to another of tho amount due a contract to pay a certain number of dol lars in gold nml silver coins is therefore in legal import nothing else i ban au agreement to deliver a certain weight of standard gold to be ascertained by a count of coins each of which is certified lo con iin a definite proporlion ol thai weight lt is not distinguishable ns we think in principle from i contract lo de liver an equal weight of bullion of equal fineness it is distinguishable in circum stance only by the fact thai the sullici i licy of the unu nut to lie

provisions of ihe currency nets to onforco satisfaction of any contract by tho tender of depreciated currency of any description equivalent only in nominal amount to the real value f tbe bullion on llm coin dollars our conclusion theroforo upon this partol tho case is that the bond under considera tion was in legal import precisely what it was i.i the iiuder.-taniliiig of the parlies n valid obligation lo be bali't1'-'1 by a ten der of actual payment according to iis terms and uui by an offer of mere nomi nal payment arguments and illustra lintis of much nice mid value iu support of this

from ihu acini condition nl partial de monetization i which gold und silver money was reduced by iho introduction into circulation of lhe united states notes ami national bank currency hut we think it unnecessary to pursue tins branch of lho subjeel farther nor do wo think it no ccssnry to examine lho question whether lho clauses of tbo currency act making united slates notes a i gal lender are warranted by the onstitution in this case ; but we will proceed lo inquire whether upon the assumption that those clauses are so warranted and upon the furl lur assumution that engagements to pay coined dollars may be regarded as ordini ry contracts to pay money i her than as contracts to deliver cert ... a iiiounts of btandard gold it can be main tained that u contract to pay coined mon ey may be satisfied by a tender of uuitod stales notes is this a performance of the contract within the true intont of the acts il must he observed ilmt the laws for tbo coinage of gold and silver have never been repealed or muddied they remain mi he statute hook in full force and the i mission of gold and silver coin from the mint continues the actal coin age during lho last fiscal year having ex

follows that there were two description of money in use at the time the tender under con sideration was made both authorized by law and both intidl legal tender in pay ments the general denomination of both descriptions was dollars but ihey we.ro essentially unlike in nature the coined dollar was as we have seen a piece of gold or silver of u prescribed de gree of purity weighing ii prescribed number of grains | the note dollar was a promise to pay a coin dollar but it wan ; not a promise lo pay on demand nor nt any fixed time nor was it in f.iet con vi ruble into a coin dollar 1 1 was

and interest on the public i dcbl in the absence of oilier express pro j visions must be paid in coin ; and il hard i ly requires argument to prove that this i positive requirement cannot be fulfilled if ' contracts botween individuals to pay coin dollars can bo satisfied by offers to pay llieir nominal equivalent in note dollars i the merchant who is to pay du'ies in coin must contract for i lie coin which here i quins the bank which receives the j coin on deposit contracts to repay the i coin on demand the messenger who is j sent lo the bunk or the custom-house con i trncts to pay or deliver the coin accord ing to his instructions these nre nil contracts either express or implied to pay coin is il not plain thai duties can not bo paid in coin if these contracts can not be enforced ! an instructive illustra ' i'o.i ni'iy he derived from another provis ion of the same nets il is expressly pro vided that all dues to the government â– exoppt for duties on imports may be paid iu united

contract toe oolu bo aoi-1'ormcd by tho lender of an equal amount iu note dol lars undoubtedly it may if the note dollars are a legal tender to the govern ment for all iltu-s except duties on imports and yet a construction which would up port such a transaction would defeat a very important intent of the act another illustration ii"t less instructive may ba found in the contracts of the government with depositors ol the bullions at tho mint to pay them the ascertained value of their deposits iu coin these are de mands against the government other ' lb in for iiitere.-t mi the public debt and the letter of the act certainly makes uni ted states notes payable or all demands against the government except slleh in terest hut can any such construction of , the act be maintained â€” can judicial sanc tion bo given to a proposition that the government may discharge its obligation to lhe dcpositltors of bullion by tendering them a number of note dollars equal to lhe number of coined dollars which it lias contracted by law to pay but we need not pursue the subject further it seems clear beyond controversy that the act must receive the reasonable construction not only warranted but required by the com parison of its provisions with the provis ions of other acts and with each other uiil lhat upon such reasonable construc tion il must be held to sustain the propn iii iii that express contracts to pay coin ' dollars can only be satisfied by the ' pay mo tl t of coin dollars these are not debts which may be satisfied by the ten â– der of the united tates notes it follows ; that the lender of such notes in payment of the bom under consideration was no warranted ill law and the decree directing satisfaction of the mortgage was errone ous some difficulty has been ielt iu regard to the judgment proper to be entered on contracts payable in coin this difficulty arises from the supposition that damages can be assessed only iu one description of money hut tlie net of 11u2 provides that lhe money of lho coin of the united states shall bo expressed in dollars dimes cents and mills and tlint all accounts iu the public offices and all proceedings in the courts of the united slates shall be kept and had in confor mity to this regulation this regulation is part of the first coinage act ami doubt less has reference to tho coins provided for by it but it is a general regulation and lei ties tn all accounts ami all judicial proceedings winn theroforo two de scriptions of money are sanctioned by law both ex rossod in dollars and both made current in payment ii is

these payments according to the bond at such place as hronson might appoint or in default of such appointment at the merchants hank iu new york melz ex ecuted a mortgage upon certain real pro perty which was all ei wards conveyed to hodes who assumed to pay the mortgage due and did in fact pay the interest un til and including the 1st day of january 1864 subsequently in january 1866 there having been no demand of payment nor any appointment of a place of pay mentby hronson rhodes tendered to him united states notes for lhe amount of fif teen hundred and seven dollars a sum nominally equal to the principal and in terest duo upon llie bond and mortgage at that time one dollar in coin was equiv alent iu market value to two dol lars and a quarter of united states notes this lender was refused where upon rhodes deposited the united slates notes iii the merchant's hank to ihe cred it of bronson and filed his bill in equity praying lhat the mortgaged premises might be relieved from ibe mm i the mnrtgnge and that bronson might bo e impelled tn execute and deliver lo him nu ack-uowlcdginont of the full soil isfncl ion and discharge of the mortgage debt the bill was dismissed by the supremo

nnd di tecling hrnnoon lo satisfy lhe same of rec ord and this decree wns affirmed by tho court of appeals thequostion we have to consider therefore ie this : was bron boii bound by law to accept from rhodes united states notes equal in nominal amount to lhe sum due him ns full per i'm induce and satisfaction of il contract which still stipulated for the payment of that sum in gold and silver coin lawful money of the united states it is not pretended that any real payment and sat isfaction of an obligation to juiy si 007 | coined money dollars can be made by the tender of paper money worth iu lhe mar ket only six hundred and seventy coined dollars the question is does the law compel the acceptance of such a feeder for such a debt it is the appropriate func tion of courts of justice to enforce con tracts according lo the intent and under j standing of the parties we must there fore inquire what was the intent and un derstanding of frederick bronson and christian xletz when tlu-y enteral into the contract under consideration in de cember 1851 and ibis inquiry will be as sisted by reference to the circumstances | under which the contract wns made â€” bionson was an executor charged as a trustee with lhe administration of an es tate metis was a borrower from lhe es tate it was the char duly of the former j lo take security for the full repayment of llie money loaned to the latter i'he cur rency of lhe country at that time consist ed mainly in the circulating notes of state banks convertible under the laws of the suites into coin on demand this con vertibility though far from perfect togeth er with the acts of congress which re iiuiied the use of coin for ull receipts and disbursements of the national government insured the presence of some coin in the general circulation but the business of llie people was transacted almost entirely through the medium of bank notes the slate banks had recently emerged from a t'ondision of great depreciation and dis credit the effects of which weie still wide ly fell and the recurrence of a like condi tion was not unreasonably apprehended by many this apprehension was in fuel realized by lhe goncrul suspension of coin payment which took place in 1857 shortly after lhe bond id melz became lue it is not to be doubted then thai il was to guard against the possibility of loss to lhe estate limn an altempl lo force llie acceptance of u llilclual ing anil per haps irredeemable currency iu paper thai , the express stipulation for payment iu gold , nnd silver coin was pm into lhe bund â€” i , there was no necessity in

only in coin the terms of ib contract must have been selected liu i fore lo definitely li the contrael be tween ihe parlies and to guard ngaiiibt any possible claim of tho mortgages lhat any ordinary

to be affected by them it was to be paid at nil events in coined lawful money we bavo just adverted to th fact that thu le gal obligation of jiayinei n coin was per fect without express stipn ition it will be uieful to consider somewhat furtber tlie precise import in law of the phrase '. " l^ollarsf payable in goiri aim silver coiit lawful money of the united slates to form a correct judgment on this point ii will be necessary to look into lhe statutes regulating coinage it would be instruc tive doubtless to review the history of coinage in the united slates and lhe suc cession of statutes by which the weight purity form and impression of gold ami silver coins have been regulated but it will be sufficient for our purpose that we examine three only tho acts ot april 2 1792 of january 18 is:i7 and of march 8 1849 the act of 179*2 estab lished a merit for tl e purpose of tho na tional coinage it was the result of very careful and thorough investigation of the whole subject iu which lell'erson mnl hamilton look lhe greatest part and iis general principles have controlled nil sub sequent legislation li provided that ibe gold of coinage or standard g"bl should consist of eleven parts fine and olio purl alloy which alloy was to be silver and copper in convenient proportions but not exceeding one-half silver ami lhat the sil ver of coinage should consist of fourteen eighty five one hundredth parts fine and one hundred and seventy-nine parts ol alloy wholly of copper the same act established the dollar as lhe money mini and required that it should onn tain four hundred and sixteen grains of standard silver it provided further for tho coin age of half dollars quarter dollars dimes and half dimes also of stnudnrd silver and weighing respectively one-balf one quarter one-teiilh uud one-twonlietli ol tho weight of the dollar provision was al-o in ole for it gold coinage consisting of eagles half eitgles nnd quarter eagles nnd containing roapoclively two hundred nnd evenly oin hundred uud thirty-live iini sixty seven half grains of stnudnrd gold nnd being of the value respectively of fen dollars five ilolh.rs ind two half dollars these coiim wen-a made n bira tender in all payments according to their respective weights of gold and silvur if of full weight nt their declared value and il of less at a proportionate value and this regulation ns to tender remained iu full force until 1^"7 the rule prescrib ing the composition of alloy has never been changed but tho proportion of alloy to pure gold and silver ami the absolute weight of coins have undergone some al teratii'ii partly with a view in tho better adjustment of lhe gold and ilver circula tion to each other and partly for thn con venience nf commerce the only change of sufficient importance to require notice is that made by the act of 1837 thill net directed that standard gold and stan dard silver also should l henceforth con si.-l of nine parts pine and one purl alloy that the weight ol standard gold in tin eagle should he two hundred and fifty eight grains and in the half eagle and quarter eagle respectively one-half and one-fourth of that weight precisely and that the weight of standard silver should be in the dollar four hundred twelve and a half grains and the half dollar quarter dollar dime and half dime exactly one half one fourth one tenth and one twen tieth of that weight the act of 1849 authorized the coinage ol gold double ea gles and gold dollars conformably iu all respects to the established standards nud therefore uf the weights respectively of five hundred and sixteen grains and thir ty five eight tenth grains the methods and machinery of coinage luul been bo im proved before lho act of is was passed that unavoidable deviations from the pro scribed weight became almost inapprecia ble nud tho most stringent regulations were enforced to secure the utmost attain able exactness both in weight nnd puri of metal in single coins lhe greatest dt vidt ion tolerated in lhe gold coinage was half n grain iu the double eagle antl half eagle and a quarter of a grain in the quarter cnglo uud gold dollar ! nml in the silver coinage a grain and n half in the dollar a grain in the quarter dollar and a half grain in the dime and half dime lu 1849 the limit of deviation in weighing in weighing large numbers of coins on deliv ery by liu chief coiner lo the treasurer and by lho treasurer to the depositors was still further narrowed with this ami other

unnecessary to pursue tins branch of lho subjeel farther nor do wo think it no ccssnry to examine lho question whether lho clauses of tbo currency act making united slates notes a i gal lender are

and interest on the public i dcbl in the absence of oilier express pro j visions must be paid in coin ; and il hard i ly requires argument to prove that this i positive requirement cannot be fulfilled if ' contracts botween individuals to pay coin dollars can bo satisfied by offers to pay llieir nominal equivalent in note dollars i the merchant who is to pay du'ies in coin must contract for i lie

and yet a construction which would up port such a transaction would defeat a very important intent of the act another illustration ii"t less instructive may ba found in the contracts of the government with depositors ol the bullions at tho mint to pay them the ascertained value of their deposits iu coin these are de mands against the government other ' lb in for iiitere.-t mi the public debt and the letter of the act certainly makes uni ted states notes payable or all demands against the government except slleh in terest hut can any such construction of , the act be maintained â€” can judicial sanc tion bo given to a proposition that the government may discharge its obligation to lhe dcpositltors of bullion by tendering them a number of note dollars equal to lhe number of coined dollars which it lias contracted by law to pay but we need not pursue the subject further it seems clear beyond controversy that the act must receive the reasonable construction not only warranted but required by the com parison of its provisions with the provis ions of other acts and with each other uiil lhat upon such reasonable construc tion il must be held to sustain the propn iii iii that express contracts to pay coin ' dollars can only be satisfied by the ' pay mo tl t of coin dollars these are not debts which may be satisfied by the ten â– der of the united tates notes it follows ; that the lender of such notes in payment of the bom under consideration was no warranted ill law and the decree directing satisfaction of the mortgage was errone ous some difficulty has been ielt iu regard to the judgment proper to be entered on contracts payable in coin this difficulty arises from the supposition that damages can be assessed only iu one description of money hut tlie net of 11u2 provides that lhe money of lho coin of the united states shall bo expressed in dollars dimes cents and mills and tlint all accounts iu the public offices and all proceedings in the courts of the
